SAN ANTONIO — Raymond Felton scored 25 points, and the New York Knicks stayed undefeated by rallying to beat the Spurs, 104-100, on Thursday night.

J.R. Smith added 17 points, Jason Kidd had 14 and Tyson Chandler 13 for the Knicks (6-0), who closed on a 22-11 run to remain the NBA's lone unbeaten team.

Tony Parker led San Antonio (7-2) with 19 points and 12 assists.

Kawhi Leonard added 16 points, and Tim Duncan had 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Smith and Kidd hit consecutive 3-pointers to give the Knicks a 100-95 lead with a minute left in the game.

Nets 102, Celtics 97 — In New York, Joe Johnson made the tiebreaking basket with 3:03 left, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez each scored 24 points and Brooklyn beat Boston for its fourth straight victory.

Williams had eight assists and made all nine free throws on a night Paul Pierce had two huge misses in the final minute for the Celtics, who played without injured point guard Rajon Rondo.

Johnson finished with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Nets in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,732.

Pierce scored 22 points and Leandro Barbosa had 17 in place of Rondo, who was out with a sprained right ankle. Kevin Garnett added 14 points, but Boston had its three-game win streak snapped and lost to the Nets for just the third time in 21 meetings.

Boston led, 79-74, after three quarters before the Nets evened the score up at 85 on Jerry Stackhouse's 3-pointer with 6:21 to play. It was still tied before Johnson made consecutive jumpers and Lopez scored on a follow shot for a six-point lead, and the Celtics could never catch up.
